Hollywood‘s worst box-office movies of 2013
As 2013 comes to a close there were a few movies that did not capture the hearts and minds like studio executives planned. Variety published the biggest box-office flops of 2013. Filmdrunk pointed out that Harrison Ford may just be box-office poison with two of his movies on the list. But, nothing tops Disney’s Lone Ranger. Johnny Depp’s feature film lost nearly $200 million dollars at the box office.

What do you think of the list. Honestly, many critics thought Tyler Perry Present: Peeples was one of Tyler Perry’s best projects. With more and more popular movies filming at a faster rates than before and on lower budgets (ie Silver Linings Playbook), expect to see smaller and smaller budgets for movies just in case they flop.
Did you watch any of the movies on the list? Do you think they deserve to be there? Leave a comment and let the discussion begin!
